Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. you can use them but see that it is not causing any skin allergy. you can apply small amount on the chest and palms and soles and if it is not causing any skin allergy then you can use it further but do not apply on the face of the child
Give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity.
Try to prevent temperaturre variations around the child
You can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold
Continue the regular diet of the child
If there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor
For fever and pain give paracetamol

nasal drops will work
other than that a home remedy that might be useful
keep a bowl full of chopped onion near her bed approx three feet far over night
take sunbathing daily with her head and ears covered in the morning
don't expose her to winds and air blows dust and dirt
